Very helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Great location.
Despite the good quality, the price of a double room (70 euro) remains too high compared to standards in Romania. Pensions provides similar comfort for half price.
Fantastic stuff, good location, easy to park the car
Too much heat in the room
Rooms - simple but clean. staff - polite. conveniently located hotel for those who like to wander through the medieval streets, and the view from the window - just gorgeous.
For staff - to monitor the availability of hot water and drink during breakfast. I booked "lux" - but the room in which we lived was an ordinary Suite with a very simple furniture
nice spacious rooms,very pleasant helpful staff.Very good view of Brasov from restaurant and own balcony.
I found the walk up from town to the hotel quite tiring (about 20 mins).No buses and taxis were not available as they would only do longer trips.
Incredible nice staff, rooms are better than the official 3 stars rate, excellent value for money, a very quiet place, perfect for rest but for party vacations with big groups also.
Unfortunately during my trip the wireless was not available.
Very difficult to find. Very difficult. No sign posts to the hotel. No name of the hotel on the premises. Our room was situated so everybody passing by could look into it. No curtains. Breakfast was poor.
The rooms were spacious and clean, the staff was very very friendly and the view is great.
The apartment was roomy and exceptionally clean. The kitchen and eating area were filled with windows and was well equipped. The staff were very attentive and friendly.
The location is great, service great, cleanliness great, comfort great,...I definitely recommend this hotel.
The cook at breakfast made very nice dishes.
The cozy atmosphere.
Small old TV.
Bathroom lighting very poor.
Bathroom sink, and tap.
Stroller accessibility.
Renovation of the hotel obstructed our view.
Breakfast quality and variety is not as good as it was in the past.
*room was large, clean, nice decor, very nice bathroom* breakfast room was beautiful/great views* good quality breakfast (too bad there was no cereal, however) *excellent location for exploring the old city of Brasov - only a 3-minute walk *
*very noisy!!! the room was right at the front door and many people were talking right outside of our window very late at night, smoking etc.* The curtains in the room do not block the light at all so it was very bright at night with city/hotel lights flooding the room and especially in the morning* The staff was not especially friendly or helpful - seemed to want to just do the basics* The bed was not overly comfortable * Charged extra for ordering a capuccino at breakfast *
Everything was perfect.
great finishing (interior and exterior). good money too for the looks of the hotel. tasty breakfast.
can hear other people in the room next to you. also very strange the table setup for breakfast (round big ones like for weddings). bad location - way to far from center.
i liked the location and the car park and the breakfast.
the receptionist was rude and curt. there was no lift to our floor. No bar and the room was miles from the stairs. I asked for twin rooms and got doubles, i even checked with the receptionist and she told me there was 2 beds in each room but she was lying just to get rid of me. This was also too expensive for a hotel of this standard.
The hotel is reasonably priced, clean and right on the ski slopes. The staff was pleasant and friendly and there is a nice variety at breakfast
I was dissapointed in the ski rental service. My boots did not fit into the bindings and my friend had to trade in for a pair of properly waxed skiis.
The hotel was comfortable wihh good rooms and facilities.
Hotel was half hour from downtown and train station. Nearest restaurants at least ten minutes away. Better off in historic area for a tourist. This is good for someone with a car or people who don't mind several taxi fares daily.
for this time been, the pension it was new opened, convenient location, prove parking it a big plus for Brasov,
it wasn't wifi connection,
The view was gorgeous. The rooms were lovely.
The ponies' enclosure was very small and the ponies were covered with fleas!

Sorry for the bad title, not easy to explain in such a short area.
What I'm trying to accomplish: I've got a little notifications bar that slides down from the top of my site when you go to a link when you're not signed in. It just says 'you can't go here' in a clever way. Once you click it, it slides down, then using .delay(), it waits 2500ms and then slides back up. I'd like it so if you click a new one, it will cancel the delay and immediately slide up the old one and bring down a new one.
The problem is: If you click the button to bring down the notification over and over, it will wait for the .delay to finish before going to the next one, thus creating and endless stream of notifications that you'd have to wait through. I'd like it so when you click a new tab, it stops the .delay and immediately goes there, so you don't have the delay if you're compulsive or accidentally click.
My website: http://thenozzle.net/
The notification comes down when you click the 'games', 'projects', 'contests' or 'forums' links in the menubar.
function notifyevent(){
Make sense? I see this problem all over the place, where if you click multiple times, it must wait for the delay to finish. But I don't want to get rid of the slide up and slide back down, because I want that action-reaction fell of the notification, so you can associate the notification bar being down with your clicking.

The fourth episode of Jacqueline Wilson's popular Girls quartet reaches a turbulent and friendship-affirming conclusion, with Ellie dating a new beau and her pals being put to the test.
Ellie's going ga-ga over boyfriend Russell, especially since he's given her a ring to wear and is constantly whispering sweet nothings in her ear. But when Magda and Nadine start keeping secrets and Russell enters an art competition with a drawing that looks like one of her creations, Ellie starts feeling like a lone wolf. Unfortunately, things get even chillier when Ellie spots Magda and Russell "snogging" at a party, and she winds up ditching them all for good -- that is, until Magda talks her into rescuing Nadine from a potentially dangerous date.
Will Ellie ever forgive Russell and Magda? Can her friendship with her two best friends ever be the same? Through Ellie's tears of sadness and joy, this winner of England's Children's Book of the Year Award is a page-turner that reveals why "girls cry when they quarrel with their friends" and why they "cry when everything ends happily ever after." A fast-paced read that fans of the first three books won't want to miss. Shana Taylor

NEW YORK — So far this week it's been a mixed bag for retailers posting quarterly results, but one theme is quickly emerging: Fall is going to be hot, and marked by more full-priced selling.
Although cautious about the performance of its department store group, Saks Inc. is expecting the sales momentum at its Saks Fifth Avenue division to continue in the second half. At J.C. Penney, the back-to-school season is surging ahead of expectations, while TJX Cos. anticipates its better inventory positions to pay off this fall.
Meanwhile, the market was digesting Kmart's quarterly results, which included news that the board empowered its chairman to use its more than $2 billion in cash for investments.
Impacted by poor sales at its department store group, Saks Inc. delivered a wider loss on higher sales for the second quarter. The loss came in at $28.9 million, or 20 cents, compared with $25.8 million, or 18 cents, a year ago. The loss includes after-tax charges of $2.1 million in connection with the disposal of long-lived assets. Sales gained 9.2 percent to $1.35 billion from $1.24 billion.
During the period, the company retired $72 million of senior unsecured notes and paid a $2-per-share dividend to common shareholders totaling $285 million.
On a divisional basis, Saks Fifth Avenue's operating loss for the quarter was nearly halved, to $12.4 million from $22.1 million, and operating income for the six months jumped 235 percent to $36.4 million from $10.9 million last year, with the gain driven in part by a reduction in promotional activity. In the department store group, operating income fell by 10 percent to $33.3 million from $37 million.
Including unallocated corporate expenses, Saks Inc.'s operating loss in the quarter grew to $19.7 million from $12.6 million last year, while operating income for the six months grew to $41.1 million from the year-ago mark of $33.9 million.
AG Edwards analyst Bob Buchanan was critical of Saks' expenses. He said in his research note following the retailer's results that the expense ratio "has now increased eight quarters in a row and 15 of the past 17 quarters." Buchanan said "although the backdrop of surging high-end sales has helped lift results for Saks Fifth Avenue and the company as a whole during the past four quarters, at some point that surge will dissipate."
This story first appeared in the August 18, 2004 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
R. Brad Martin, chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement, "For the remainder of the year, we have taken a cautious view regarding [the department store group] and now anticipate low-single digit comparable-store sales growth in the second half. We will manage expenses accordingly. At [Saks Fifth Avenue] we expect a favorable sales environment to continue, and we will continue to invest in the strategic initiatives for this business."
For the six-month period, the net loss narrowed to $6.9 million, or 5 cents, from $11.3 million, or 8 cents, last year. Sales rose 10.4 percent to $2.89 billion from $2.62 billion.
Regarding capital expenditures, management said during a conference call with Wall Street that the retailer will continue to invest in its New York flagship. The company described recent press reports about an extensive and expensive upgrade of its New York stores as "way ahead of themselves in terms of business plans that have been developed at this point in time." The company has earmarked some $250 million in capital expenditures for 2004.
The retailer also confirmed that Peggy Eskenasi, president of private brand and product development for the Saks Inc. department store group, is leaving the company. Eskenasi joined Saks as senior vice president of private label and brand development in 1997, and was promoted to executive vice president two years later.
"The department store team is spending a lot of time on what the right, long-term leadership and organizational structure looks like for the private brand organization," management said on the call. "So, we've got more work to do in that regard."
Meanwhile, free of its Eckerd drugstore unit, J.C. Penney Co. posted a second-quarter profit on rising sales.
For the three months ended July 31, the retailer reported net income of $1 million. Last year's loss, including the Eckerd operation, was 2 cents a diluted share. On a continuing operations basis, the company posted a profit of 23 cents a diluted share versus a loss of 3 cents a year ago.
Sales rose 5.8 percent to $3.86 billion from $3.65 billion, which included a 7.1 percent gain in comparable-store sales and a 1.6 percent decline in Internet and catalogue sales. For the six-month period, income fell 31.1 percent to $42 million, or 14 cents a diluted share, from $61 million, or 18 cents, last year. Sales rose 7.3 percent to $7.89 billion from $7.36 billion.
During the quarter, the firm completed its $4.5 billion sale of Eckerd to CVS Corp. and the Jean Coutu Group.
Allen Questrom, chairman and chief executive officer of J.C. Penney, said in a statement, "Early back-to-school results are exceeding our expectations. A number of external factors, including higher oil prices and concerns over terrorism, could impact future consumer spending patterns, but we remain confident that our third-quarter sales and operating profits will improve."
With sales at its retail stores exceeding expectations, the firm is projecting third-quarter earnings from continuing operations will be between 35 and 40 cents a share, which includes a reduction to reflect the 11 cent per share impact from one-time charges related to early debt retirements.
For Kmart Holdings Corp., the big news was the board's decision to give chairman Edward Lampert the power to invest the retailer's growing pile of cash, which exceeds $2 billion.
Despite sliding same-store and total sales, the company recorded net income of $155 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $5 million, or 6 cents per share, in the same period in 2003, while total sales dropped 15.3 percent to $4.79 billion from $5.65 billion. Same-store sales decreased 14.9 percent.
The company blamed the lower sales on reductions in promotional events and newspaper advertising, as well as the effect of unseasonably cool weather and a transition in apparel lines.
But the merchandising restructuring seems to be paying off. As reported in July, the company is applying a vertical approach to apparel development that is similar to the Gap Inc., moving sourcing and design in-house and manufacturing abroad, resulting in cheaper goods and tighter control. Kmart's gross profit margin swelled 26 percent for the quarter.
Julian C. Day, president and ceo of Kmart, said he was "happy with the dramatically improved styling and quality of our recently launched fall product lines."
Richard Hastings, retail analyst at Bernard Sands, said "gross profit at Kmart shows they are transforming their merchandise mix around higher-margin apparel, footwear, Martha Stewart Everyday softlines and other margin-driven items. With very little interest expense and staggeringly strong liquidity ratios, Kmart's management has enough time and earnings stability to figure out their moves over the next 18 months."
Meanwhile, the figure that really wowed analysts was the $2.62 billion in cash and cash equivalents Kmart has amassed in the last two fiscal quarters. This is about double what Kmart had in its coffers last year.
There have been rumblings in the market that Lampert plans to turn the retailer into an investment company in a way similar to what Warren Buffett did with Berkshire Hathaway. Lampert, in prior news reports, has cited Buffett as a role model.
For TJX Cos. Inc., higher markdowns during the second quarter did little to bolster sales, dragging profits below expectations. The Framingham, Mass.-based company reported sales rising 12 percent to $3.4 billion from $3 billion in the prior year, while net income slipped to $118 million from $123 million.
"We maintained our inventory discipline when sales trends softened during the second quarter and took higher markdowns to keep merchandise turning," said Edmond English, president and ceo, in a statement, adding that despite the rise in markdowns during the second quarter, "inventories are in great shape" for the fall.
For the six-month period, the off-price retailer posted net income that climbed 21 percent to $286 million from $237 million last year while sales rose 16 percent to $6.8 billion from $5.8 billion.

Exclusive film looks at allegations that a coal power project in central India, approved under the UN's Clean Development Mechanism, is destroying forests and livelihoods
It is meant to be supporting 'sustainable development' but the UN's flagship carbon trading scheme is failing, according to an investigation by the Ecologist Film Unit.
On the eve of the Durban climate change talks, investigators travelled to Madhya Pradesh in central India to document the impact of a new coal power plant, and associated coal mines, approved by the UN's Clean Development Mechanism.
Our investigation uncovered allegations the project is displacing poor communities and leading to the destruction of forest.

* China crude imports from Iran hit 558,865 bpd in July
* China Jan-July imports from Iran at 617,670 bpd, up 47 pct (Adds detail on imports and background)
By Adam Rose
BEIJING, Aug 21 China's crude imports from Iran expanded 40.6 percent in July from a year ago, customs data showed on Thursday, as Tehran's largest oil client stayed with the elevated shipment levels that began late last year.
China began stepping up purchases from the OPEC member after a preliminary nuclear deal in November of last year eased some sanctions on Iran. China has been making up the main portion of Asia's higher Iranian oil imports since then.
Top state refiner Sinopec Corp has been lifting more Iranian oil this year partly because it is cheaper versus similar grades from Saudi Arabia, industry officials have told Reuters.
Higher imports of condensate, a light crude oil from Iran's South Pars gas project, have also contributed to strong intake figures. China counts condensate as crude oil.
Iran has started taking action to comply with the terms of an extended agreement with six world powers over its disputed atomic activities, a U.N. nuclear watchdog report obtained by Reuters on Wednesday showed.
The findings by the International Atomic Energy Agency may be seen as positive by the West ahead of the expected resumption next month of negotiations on ending the decade-old nuclear dispute.
China's July imports from Iran came in at 2.37 million tonnes, or 558,865 barrels per day (bpd), rising 5 percent from 531,200 bpd in June, official customs data showed on Thursday.
Imports from Iran over January-July were 617,670 bpd, up 47 percent compared with 420,263 bpd a year ago.
China's imports from Iran spiked to a record in April and remained high in May. July's figures are on par with other months since last December, still near the pre-2012 levels seen before tougher Western sanctions were imposed.
Iran's overall crude oil exports dropped in July for the second month in a row after a spike in May, yet sales were still slightly above the 1 million bpd allowed by the November deal aimed at curbing Tehran's nuclear programme, according to sources who track tanker movements.
Iran ranks No.3 among China's top suppliers, according to customs, with growth in the January-July period the fastest among China's top suppliers, outpacing that of Iraq, Oman, Angola, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Most of them will be underground watching us fight it out. It is so enraging. We pay our taxes and elect people to run the country and THIS is what they do. And THEY will be all cozy and safe in the bunkers they've built with our fucking tax dollars. I hope they have enough food to live like rodents for a LOT of years, because it is very motivating to slog through this mess to the other side so we can string these mf'ers up by their balls.
This stuff is complicated, most are still asleep because it is too difficult to understand and people are too stressed and distracted to pay attention. I don't think they conceive that POTUS would stand up and LIE to their faces on national TV. He says things are getting better so OK, switch over to Honey Boo Boo. Can blame them for wanting to escape that niggling feeling in the back of their head that something is wrong.
These are not people that concern me in a shtf scenario.
Anonymous Coward 31907650
I've been encountering a lot of people like this lately. People who are awake but afraid. They are well aware that something is not right. They can feel it too, they choose to ignore it. Denial is not de river in Egypt.
I was speaking with a casual friend and co-worker tonight, a good Christian girl who's very much aware of what's happening all around us from the Biblical angle. I introduced her to the prophecies of the Hopi and suddenly she didn't want to talk about it anymore.
I could see it in her eyes. She was afraid. I told her she needs to embrace it... and I think she will. She's that kind of girl.
I personally believe about 30% of the population is going to curl up in the fetal position in the corner anyway.

Stop taking calcium even if you have diabetes: It doesn't work and it has side effects, including heart attacks. This is the blunt message of recent studies of this mineral.
Our doctors have been telling us for years that we need 1,000 to 1,200 mg of calcium to prevent osteoporosis and bone fractures. They were wrong, they now admit.
Because of this bad advice more than 60 percent of American women aged 60 or more were taking calcium supplements a few years ago, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Nevertheless, some researchers wanted us to take even more calcium: "Americans are not meeting current calcium recommendations," according to a 2007 article in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

By a unanimous vote 2-1/2 hours after the meeting started, the local planners forwarded their recommended permit conditions to the board of aldermen, which will consider them and may make a final decision on Monday, May 20, when it next meets.

Why Reproductive Health Can Be A Special Struggle For Women With Disabilities
CREDIT: Shutterstock/Graphic via Dylan Petrohilos
For many women, getting a pap smear or a birth control prescription at a doctor's office is relatively effortless. Perhaps a little uncomfortable, yes, but only temporarily — with important, beneficial results.
However, not all women in need of reproductive health care find themselves able to be accommodated in a standard doctor's office. Women with disabilities are far less likely to make essential appointments regarding their reproductive health due to the physical and emotional hurdles they encounter in a typical clinic. From inaccessible exam tables to assumptions that disabled women are not sexually active, barriers in the medical field can leave women discouraged and uneducated about their own health.
But a Chicago advocacy and support group for young women with disabilities — called the "Empowered Fe Fes" — hopes to change this destructive cycle. In August, the group produced a comprehensive guidebook to reproductive health for women with disabilities titled "Take Charge!", meant not only for patients, but also for doctors, hospital and clinic staff, caretakers, and the general public.
"A lot of people in the world think people with disabilities can't do certain things, almost like we're babies," said Stephanie Jackson, a 23-year-old member of the Empowered Fe Fes. "One of those things is sex. This guide will help people understand that we have the same reproductive health needs as anyone else."
Jackson, who joined the group when she was 17, said she hasn't personally faced problems at her OB-GYN office, though she's heard horror stories from her fellow Fe Fes ("fe fe" is a possible reference to female friend).
"I've heard about toilets being too high, awkward interactions with doctors, and just general inaccessibility," she said. "There's a lot of this kind of stuff going on that no one sees."
These kind of interactions make it difficult for women to return for necessary exams and contraceptive guidance, potentially leading to untreated sexually transmitted infections, unwanted pregnancies, and general misconceptions about their reproductive health. A 2005 study by the Guttmacher Institute found that women with disabilities are 50 to 70 percent less likely to receive a pap smear than those without a disability, based on access and health care coverage.
"This guide first addresses patient's accessibility at a medical facility," said Fulani Thrasher, community organizer for Access Living, the organization behind the Fe Fe's creation. "But, almost more importantly, it also addresses self-advocacy at a doctor's office."
The culmination of three years' work, the downloadable guide is meant specifically for women in the Chicago area — but only because it rates local hospitals and clinics for their accessibility. The rest covers more universal issues, including a patient's accommodation rights and general information on sexually transmitted infections. A portion of the guide also specifically focuses on empowering women to stand up for themselves.
The guide addresses specific situations where a patient should speak up, like if they aren't able to undress on their own, are blind, or have a service animal. "If confronting your physician seems like something that might be difficult for you, try role-playing first with friends or a family member. Practice asserting yourself," it suggests.
The Fe Fes' guide is unique not just for its comprehensiveness. In fact, nothing else like it exists in the United States.
According to the 2010 census, approximately 19 percent of the non-institutionalized U.S. population had a disability. That's nearly 57 million people. Around 31 million of them are women.
However, the government website geared specifically toward this population provides no information related to reproductive or sexual health. Even the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guide for medical facility compliance barely touches the topic — only referring to exam table accessibility requirements for gynecological exams. The only other up-to-date information online on providing reproductive health care to women with disabilities is buried in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' website.
Little research has been done in this field — due perhaps to the delicacy of this topic (sexual abuse and forced sterilization are far more common in disabled communities) — which leads to little education on the issue in medical schools. The general treatment of adults with disabilities is largely skimmed over.
"Generally, physical disability is taught as a separate self-contained entity rather than incorporated throughout all segments of medical education," wrote Judi Rodgers, a pregnancy specialists at the National Center for Parents with Disabilities and their Families, in a 2010 report.
And a 2009 report by the National Council on Disability seconded her findings.
"Few health care training programs address disability issues in their curriculums, and most federally funded health disparities research does not recognize and include people with disabilities as a disparity population," the study found.
The report also pointed out that federal health care funding agencies have failed to conduct oversight of "ADA architectural and programmatic accessibility compliance by states, health plans, and medical providers or assess health providers' disability cultural competence."
For now, the Empowered Fe Fes' guide may best tool many women with disabilities have been wanting to share with their doctors — and the general public — for years.
"We're regular, everyday, normal people," Jackson said. " We should be treated that way."

Aug. 17, 1965 J. J. PROULX y fi FIREMAN'S HELMET Filed Dec. 8, 1961 INVENTOR Jmfm QKPPWM. BY WW ATTORNEY United States Patent 3,201,771 FEREMANS HELMET .lohn I. Preuix, Glenweud Ave, Middlebury, Conn. Filed Dec. 8, 1951, Ser. No. 158,143 Claims. (Cl. 340-22'7) This invention relates to firemens helmets and particularly to one installed with a warning device to give audible and/ or visible signals when a fireman is exposed to too severe heat conditions.
One of the dangerous factors for firemen in fighting fires is that in their desire and enthusiasm to get at the source of the fire they often are not aware of the high ambient temperatures in which they may be operating to extinguish a blaze, and as a consequence they may be seriously burnt. Experience has also shown that often when fighting a fire, portions of a building or stock stored therewithin may have become so hot before the fireman arrive that when water is first applied a fiash of steam may result that can inflict a greater and more damaging injury than from a superheated atmosphere. It is for the purpose of giving adequate warning to any fireman that I have made this invention to forestall his entering too far into a burning building too dangerous for his own safety.
It is therefore one of the objects of this invention to provide a firemans helmet with a series of thermostatic elements tied into an electric circuit and placed at spaced positions around the helmet, and which thermostats are set to close the circuit and give audible and/or a light signal when the fireman wearing the helmet is exposed to a dangerous heat condition.
A further object is to place a switch in the circuit in such a manner as to short out the thermostats and permit the switch to be manually operated so as to energize the audible and light signals in case the fireman should get lost or trapped within a blazing building.
Other objects and advantages of the tnvention will be come apparent from the following description when read in connection with accompanying drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a firemans helmet embodying my invention and with portions broken away to show interior construction;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation of the same on a slightly smaller scale;
FIG. 3 is a top plan View of the same; and
FIG. 4 is a layout view of the wiring diagram for the electric units.
Referring now to the drawing, the numeral designates generally a firemans helmet consisting of a brim 11, a crown 12 and a reenforcing rib l3 raised upwardly and extending lengthwise of the apex of the crown. Mounted on the front of the crown above the brim is a casing 14 in which is located an audible warning unit 15. The casing includes a removable cover plate 16 secured to said casing as by screws 16a. A small light socket 17a is mounted upon the upper section of the cover plate 16 for receiving a light bulb 17 that functions as a warning signal. Projecting through a suitable opening 18 in the cover plate 16 and adjacent the warning light 17 is a manually operated switch 19 that operates said light and the audible warning unit as will be explained later.
The audible warning unit 15 is a tone oscillator or sounding device that is mounted on the back of the cover plate 16 and further description of this unit is considered unnecessary.
The battery required to operate the tone oscillator consists of two dry cells 20 such as used for operating a portable flash light and are confined in a casing 21. The casing 21 with its batteries are preferably mounted on the top of the helmet, so as to obtain a better distribution of the weight of the units attached to the helmet and not place 32%,??1 Patented Aug. 17, 1965 an excessive amount of weight on the front of the helmet. As shown in FIG. 1 the battery casing 21 is fixed to the top of the reenforcing rib 13 in any suitable manner. The dry cell batteries 20 are mounted on an insulated plate 22 and held in place by the usual spring clips 23.
In order to operate the tone oscillator 15 and warning light 17, use is made of four heat detector units, 25, 26, 27 and 28, one positioned on each of the four sides of the helmet crown 12 and preferably slightly above the brim 11. These detector units are preferably of the heatactuated thermostatic type using bi-metallic bars for closing the circuit when subjected to a predetermined amount of heat, and set to operate at approximately degrees (Fahrenheit). The front detector unit 15 is mounted on an offset bracket 29 secured to the front face of the audible unit casing 14, the oifset portion being spaced from an opening (not shown) in the cover plate 16 through which audible signals are emitted when said unit 15 is operating. The side detector units 2-6 and 27 and rear detector 28 are mounted respectively on the crown 12 as shown in the first three views of the drawing.
The manner in which all the electric units are electrically joined together is shown in FIG. 4. The heat detector units 25-28 are joined in parallel through main circuit lines 30 and 31, the line 30 being connected to one side of the battery 20 while the line 31 leads to one side of the tone oscillator 15. The opposite side of the tone oscillator is joined to the battery 20 through line 32. The signal light 17 is joined to line 31 and line 32 and thus in parallel with the tone oscillator 15 so that one of the warning units will at least operate in case the other fails. In case the operator should desire to operate the warning light or tone oscillator independently of the heat-detector units, the switch 19 is joined across the main circuit lines 30 and 31 between said detector units 25-28 and the warning units 15 and 17.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
I claim:
1. In a firemans helmet having the usual brim and crown in combination with a warning system, of a casing mounted on said crown and having an electrically operated audible signal unit, a battery carried by said helmet, and plurality of heat-detector units positioned about the outside of said helmet and arranged in parallel with each other and in series with the battery and the audible signal unit so that when one or more of the heat-detector units is operated to close the circuit the audible signal unit will be energized.
2. In a firemans helmet having the usual brim and crown in combination with a warning system, of a casing mounted on said crown and having an electrically operated audible signal unit and a light signal unit, a battery carried by said helmet, and a plurality of heat detector units positioned about the outside of said helmet and arranged in parallel with each other and in series with the battery and the audible and light signal units so that when one or more of the heat-detector units is operated to close the circuit the audible and light signal units will be energized.
3. In a firemans helmet as defined in claim 2 wherein the casing for the audible and light signal units is mounted on front of the hat crown.
4. In a firemans helmet as defined in claim 3 wherein a casing is provided for housing the battery independent of the casing for the warning units and so positioned to the helmet as to counterbalance the weight of the audibleand-light signal unit casing.
5. In a firemans helmet as defined in claim 3 wherein a casing is provided for housing the battery independent of the casing for the warning units and which battery casing is mounted on the top of the helmet crown.
